Twelve-year-old Wendy Luana just can't get steer clear of trouble.

So when she goes as far riding her tricycle and getting a driver injured, leaving the poor man in a coma, the local townsfolk decide enough is enough. Wendy ends up in a juvie on the southern side of Philippines. The poverty filled, corrupted side.

Her natural smiles and upbeat characteristics are in contrast to all the others gloomy faces as Wendy takes on the messy and sticky hobby of baking. One day, another girl comes to the juvenile centre. Her name is Hazel, and she was wrongly accused of a crime she didn't commit. So Wendy being Wendy, takes on the job of setting things right again. 

Join Wendy on a humorously awkward journey as she uses her skills and her knack for stirring up trouble in this don't-underestimate-kids book.

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . . ***** After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
